Using FreeBSD 6.0 Stable. Using the linux_base-8 port. I have decided to make a new post about this problem because my old one was very badly written and I am sure no one could figure out my problem. I would like to try Skype, but the port will only allow me to use ONE of my devices at a time, so my headset can't hear and talk at the same time, I have to manually swich between the headset and speaker device. (There is something called DSP hijacker for this which I do not want to mess with.) I thought that perhaps using the linux version would help, I downloaded the linux static tar.gz with QT compiled in, and when I opened it, I was please to find that in the tools section there is an option for both your input and output device. However, I was upset to find out that I could not call or be called in this version. So, do wrap things up, my problem is: "When using the linux build of skype, I can not call or be called, I can't even call the voice testing service." My question is: "How can I start calling people and be called?" Again, I am using FreeBSD 6 and the linux-base-8 port. Any help would be appricated, thanks. -ARCKEDA PS: Sorry about sending you so many emails dude, I kept pressing the wrong button... --------------------------------- Don't pick lemons.
